Some 15,600 doses of Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine arrived Tuesday at hospitals in El Paso and Edinburg, and more will land in Laredo, McAllen, Brownsville and El Paso later this week. At UT Health RGV in Edinburg, in the Rio Grande Valley, the first doses were administered Tuesday afternoon, and a vaccination center in the medical school s lobby will usher through 400 to 500 people per day for the next several days, said Dr. John H. Krouse, dean of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine.
